i am not good at waiting

my life as of right now:

- went to the wedding. had a lovely time. i hadn't realized how much i've missed everybody.

- found an apartment! the location's great, the building's nice, the apartment is big, there's a gym and a pool, it's got a washer and dryer, and it's not too ridiculously expensive. (although, according to my dad, "hey, your rent is only $200 less than our house payment.") now i'm having lots of fun buying end tables and salt shakers and things along those lines.

- waaaiiiittttiiiiiiiiiing to hear back about the job i interviewed for last week. i'm supposed to find out if i got the job "sometime" this week. so i'm finding that as the week goes on, i'm getting more and more uptight about the whole thing.

- finishing up things in NC. i've got a very long list of things to do before i officially leave on saturday, and it's getting longer all the time. it doesn't help that once i move, i won't have any high-speed internet for at least a month.

- going to the beach on saturday for a family vacation. hallelujah. i'm really looking forward to it. between my mom, sisters, grandma, aunt, and cousins, it's going to be ten women, ages 16 - 71, and (in the words of my aunt) "we're not talking about husbands or boyfriends the entire time!" i plan on doing nothing but eating, sleeping, reading, laying on the beach, and playing the occasional card game.
